A steam locomotive usually has two ejectors: a large ejector for releasing the brakes when stationary and a small ejector for maintaining the vacuum against leaks. The exhaust from the ejectors is invariably directed to the smokebox , by which means it assists the blower in draughting the fire.

Steam locomotive with Giesl flat ejector in Austria Austrian 0-12-0T and 0-6-2T fitted with Giesl ejectors, Eisenerz depot, August 1971 Smokebox with Giesl-ejector on the ČSD 534.0432 in museum Lužná u Rakovníka. A Giesl ejector is a suction draught system for steam locomotives that works on the same principle as a feedwater injector.
Collects steam at the top of the boiler (well above the water level) so that it can be fed to the engine via the main steam pipe, or dry pipe, and the regulator/throttle valve. [2] [5] [6]: 211–212 [3]: 26 Air pump / Air compressor Westinghouse pump (US+) Powered by steam, it compresses air for operating the train air brake system.
The primary competitor to the air brake was the vacuum brake, in which a steam-operated ejector is mounted on the engine instead of the air pump, to create the vacuum required to power the brake system. A secondary ejector or crosshead vacuum pump is used to maintain the vacuum in the system against the small leaks in the pipe connections ...
The steam ejector is a popular form of pump for vacuum distillation and freeze-drying. A jet of steam entrains the vapour that must be removed from the vacuum chamber. Steam ejectors can have single or multiple stages, with and without condensers in between the stages. While both steam ejectors and diffusion pumps use jets of vapor to entrain ...
A first-of-its-kind College Football Playoff officially kicks off Friday at 8 p.m. ET with No. 9 Indiana taking the three-hour-plus drive north US-31 to Notre Dame Stadium looking to upset No. 3 ...
As the article stands, it describes the overall situation as if there is one, and only one device, and it opens with the sentence, "An injector, ejector, steam ejector, steam injector, eductor-jet pump or thermocompressor is a pump-like device". This is a nonsense, and is confusing to readers who arrive hoping to find what the difference is ...
